I think it's by cylinder 5 spark plug

On the way there
That is not it. It's the tiny aluminum plug in the boss above cylinder #5. I know it well.
While that is not the one mentioned so famously that is in-fact an oil galley. 2Fs and 3Fs have them. It goes straight through the block and out the front with a similar plug.
Yours appears to have been leaking. Pull it out, inspect it, and put a sealant of your choice on it. Or buy a new one. The factory part may come with sealant on the threads already. So no need there.

That bill hurts to look at. I can't imagine how angry I'd be if that happened to any vehicle at 70K.
That's 1993 dollars, too!
Imagine when 2F short blocks were available **new** from Toyota. 
No. Replacement blocks have a blank pad.
Oh, they gave the block away on that invoice.

Noticed that's a Customer pay RO. Did toyota not stand behind their product @ 70k? Seen a lot stranger things paid by the factory outside of "normal" warranty parameters. I know this is from way back... Just curious.
Got all nostalgic over that old school ADP layout too.

I guess not, other than the discount on the short block. My dad bought this new. I still have all sorts of old paperwork, including the window sticker and dot-matrix build sheet printed in Japanese
The plug popped out while someone else had borrowed the truck - they thought the motor quit because it ran out of gas
I don't know how long it takes to pump all oil from the truck, but I'm not sure I would have caught it either. I don't keep my eye on the oil pressure gauge.
The block was invoiced for almost 1,000 dollars below the then-current dealer cost.
I need to do this fix on 2 of my 60's. I have read all the threads I can find and I have decided I would really rather not re-drill the hole or remove the head bolt. Can someone confirm the optimum size tap and plug to use WITHOUT re-drilling the factory gallery plug hole? I really don't want to introduce the number of shavings into the head that high speed drilling would produce, even if I did remove the head bolt and stuff the hole, purge the gallery with the engine running or take other remedial measures.
I have read everything from 6mm to 8mm to 5/16, even some other sizes. Looking for the best diameter as well as thread count.
Thanks guys
